The MOVE Story

Mission: To Empower people to take ownership of their health.

ThinkMOVE is about learning to focus on yourself; to prioritize your physical and mental health, your vision, your goals, your hopes, your energy and your zest for life.

The ultimate purpose that drives the ThinkMOVE program is an unwavering desire to help people reclaim their health from the conventional way of working and living, which is primarily sedentary.

Many silver bullet solutions have been offered to solve the sedentary problem. Things such as sitting on Pilates balls all day or standing desks but what is needed is a comprehensive system of movement. Kelly Starrett, Doctor of Physiotherapy, coined the phrase, “Motion is Lotion”, which means the practice of proper mechanics of movement can help prevent and even resolve injury and pain. Movement is the key to proper maintenance of the body as well.

The body is built for movement; not to be in any fixed position for extended periods of time regardless of whether that’s in a chair, standing up or on a ball. However, we have engineered physical activity out of daily lives to the point where the average Canadian sits 9.5 hours a day! ThinkMOVE has been engineered to put physical movement and exercise back into our daily lives while taking into account the reality of our daily work and lives.

Meet Tim Sitt

Hi, I’m Tim Sitt, that’s right ‘Sitt”. Crazy to think that after everything I’ve learned about health as a Personal Trainer and then later as a Child and Family therapist, sitting would be the thing that knocked me down… literally.

I aim to help mature adults who have worked in offices long enough to feel the effects that sitting has on their bodies. By ‘mature’ I mean people who are less concerned with external markers of health like six-pack abs and who don’t care so much what people think of them. Instead I work really well with people who have been there done that and are focused on transforming their health for the long term. At any level of a company, these are men and women who are experiencing back pain, weight gain, fatigue, soreness, and low mood which are all associated with a sedentary lifestyle. They want to feel better and more comfortable in their own bodies, to feel more confident in themselves, and to be in a positive relationship with themselves.

I help people who are overwhelmed by the stress and demands of their day and struggle to find time to do things that are positive for their health. I work best with people who have tried many approaches and understand themselves well enough to know that change cannot happen without first taking personal responsibility for the change.

I guide people to create health in every moment in their lives by sharing an approach that guides them step by step so that they incorporate doable, actionable practices of movement into their everyday lives.

This approach helps people feel more energized, confident and connected while also feeling productive and balanced throughout the workday.

I am on a mission to share the ThinkMOVE approach that brings movement into our everyday lives and elevates health and happiness along the way.

I’ve worked in the health and fitness industry as Personal Trainer, competed as a bodybuilder, and have been involved with sports and martial arts throughout my entire life. I’ve helped clients lose weight, run 10ks, reduce risk markers for heart disease and diabetes, add muscle mass, and enjoy exercise.

I’ve worked in the mental health field supporting individuals, couples and families with transformational changes that relate to their individual mental health, their relationships and their careers. I’ve guided clients to a deeper connection with themselves and with others by helping them learn to ground themselves more within their bodies and to communicate what they need openly and honestly with themselves first and then with others second.

I’ve combined my experiences in physical health and mental health to create the ThinkMOVE program. I’ve had the opportunity to publish a book on the topic of addressing the sitting habit by Self-Counsel Press. The book and our programs covers not just what-to-do, but how-to, why-to, where-to, when-to, and who to do it with (i.e., the social and cultural side of moving at the office.)

I’ve gone through the process of creating a method that helps you add health and movement into any moment of your day and address internal and external barriers and feel empowered along the way.

When I’m not helping people move towards health, I really love to get out of the city into nature with my wife or dear friends for long hikes.

I also love to dance and have become particularly fond of 5Rhythms which is a balance of meditation and movement.

One fun & funny fact about me is I love wearing superhero pajamas. Here’s a picture of my winter outfit as Optimus Prime:

MOVE: an origin story

I’ve always considered myself a relatively healthy guy-until I hurt my back. How can a former body builder and personal trainer complain of back pain and not find healing in chiropractors and physiotherapists? The answer is embedded in our culture of sitting. Our bodies are cramped while sitting for 10+ hours a day, so of course our bodies suffer from soreness and stiffness. See the video below to learn more about how I created an innovative program to easily incorporate movement throughout your day so that you can free your body and mind from the unhealthy position of sitting.

Meet the MOVE Team

Tim Sitt

Tim Sitt

Founder
Tim is the creator of the ThinkMOVE program. Initially, he developed ThinkMOVE in his efforts to heal his chronic back pain, and found after a month his back pain was gone never to return. He started to incorporate bits of exercise throughout his day and lost 20 lbs- his “office” fat- while he was at it. Not only did he find that ThinkMOVE improved his physical well- being, he also found significant improvements in his mood, energy, and focus. He is embarking on an adventurous journey to change the prominent sedentary culture to help businesses have happier and healthier employees. Tim’s background as a Personal Trainer and Child and Family Therapist makes him well suited for creating the ThinkMOVE program that integrates physical and mental health. He is the husband of the Director of Operations.
Le Le Mac

Le Le Mac

Director of Operations
Le Le came on board with ThinkMOVE with her 7 years of combined experience in project management, market research and marketing. She can market various products and services from cream cheese to independent films. She is a true testament to the ThinkMOVE program where she can now do 250 squats in one instance and 40 push-ups (“man” push ups) in a span of two minutes. She is the wife of the Founder and all-round cheerleader.
Brendan Burd

Brendan Burd

Program Consultant
Brendan is a recent addition to the ThinkMOVE team, and brings with him a passion in the areas of education, health, wellness, and fitness. While generally on the go throughout the day, he has personally witnessed the unfortunate, yet avoidable effects that sitting for extended periods of the day has had on some of his family members, friends, and clients. He has worked to improve the quality of life for those in their teenage years who are embarking on an exercise routine, to adults working full time who struggle to find time in their busy schedules to balance work and life. Brendan’s experience as a Teacher and Personal Trainer will help him bridge the gap between knowledge and application of ThinkMOVE’s core principles.
